Shouldn't Canadians love Big Oil and all the money it brings them? If I lived in Canada I would be all over politicians who support Big Oil.

I am not so blinded as to oppose cashing in on a major resource, but I question Harper's management of the question.

The sensible thing to do would be to take the money and use it to fund a transition to an oil independent economy. The Conservatives obviously won't do this, as this it would accelerate the worldwide transition and reduce our profit window. Instead they're busy sacking environmental regulations in poisoned omnibus bills, GOPing Canadian politics.

Yep, this is really what we need now: American Congress level politics
